It is a very rewarding job helping people to quit smoking knowing that every two people you support to stop, you have potentially saved one of their lives. I am very proud of the experienced & passionate team we have in Liverpool. Anyone wanting to stop smoking in Liverpool are in excellent hands.

Keith McCulloch

For 13 years I have been helping clients to quit smoking. As well as being a rewarding role hopefully I have made a significant difference in clients lives. My main tip if at first you don’t succeed try and try again. Quitting smoking is the single most important thing you can ever do to improve your health. Smoking is a chronic relapsing condition.

I have nearly 7 years experience working with pregnant women helping them to quit smoking. I offer them home visit’s so they get 121 support throughout their quitting journey. I enjoy my job because I meet all different people from different backgrounds and no two days are the same.

Ginny Flannery

I have been a stop smoking advisor for over 20 years and have offered stop smoking support in many settings across the service in the community including work places and vulnerable patients with mental health problems.
My current role includes training intermediate & volunteer advisors and offering very brief smoking cessation advice to organisations across the city, so they can refer their service users/patients into our service.I still enjoy the ‘buzz’ of being able to help someone to improve their health and quality of life and it doesn’t matter how many attempts someone makes at trying to quit.
We will support you through every step until you reach your goal of a smoke free life.

Lorraine Woods

I have worked as a stop smoking advisor for 12 years in several different organisations, i.e. Community, Prisons, Hospitals, Mental Health. I love my job for several reasons, mainly to inspire people to make a change. I work with an individual listening to their thoughts on how they want to move forward whilst quitting smoking, and I use my own experience as an ex smoker on things that helped me. Most clients always ask me if I have ever smoked. I use this opportunity to explore a smoking habit and how quitting improves your health, wealth and mental attitude.
